Al Shabaab claims responsibility for killing dozens of KDF soldiers in Somalia

The Islamist activist gathering Al-Shabaab has guaranteed obligation regarding killing many KDF troops after they assaulted a remote army installation in Somalia on Thursday, January 26, 2017. As indicated by a representative for al-Shabaab, Sheik Abdiasis Abu Musab, he said its warriors executed no less than 57 Kenyans and assumed control over the base in the southern town of Kulbiyow, close to the Kenyan fringe.

'We are seeking after the Kenyan troopers who fled into the forested areas. Two mujahideen (contenders) smashed suicide auto bombs into the base in Kulbiyow town before raging it,' he stated, including that close by numbering 57 Kenyan bodies the gathering seized vehicles and weapons.

'We have assumed control over the base. Addressing Reuters, Kenyan military representative, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Njuguna denied the cases saying: 'That is false, the operation is continuous. We are getting redesigns.'

It could likewise be reviewed that in January 2016, al Shabaab said it had murdered more than 100 Kenyan fighters in El Adde, a Somali camp close to the fringe with Kenya. The Kenyan military never gave points of interest of setbacks.
